Doctors Find Cancer Test
KANAS CITY, Kan, (AP)-Two University of Kansas Medical Center researchers believe they have developed a blood test for breast cancer.
If the test proves to be accurate, it could result in earlier treatment of breast cancer, with the result of better chances of successful treatment.
Researchers at the medical center are testing blood samples from women from throughout Kansas as part of a new program of detection and treatment.
The test is for the presence of a blood protein called an antibody, which the researchers have identified and believe is used by the body to combat breast cancer cells.
The cancerous cells, they say, carry chemical identification tags on their surfaces. These tags are canary viruses that set the body's defense mechanisms to working.
Researchers say the amazingly discriminating mechanism can tell friend from foe, so that when enemy cells, such as cancerous cells, appear, the antigens
News Briefs By the Associated Press Southern Court
BATON ROUGE, La.-A judge today ordered six students permanently barred from Southern University's Baton Rouge campus on grounds they had contributed to the death of three students who they have the chance. State District Court Judge Lewis Doherty issued the ruling shortly after it was announced in a related development that the East Baton Rouge police would investigate last fall's violence in which two students died at the campus.
Cosmetic Smear
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration Tuesday proposed mandatory cosmetic ingredient labeling in the nearly 1,000 U.S. manufacturers in the $65-billion industry year would be required to list a company's common or chemical name except in the case of bona fide trade secrets.
Subway Fire
Tribute to Dole
BOSTON (AP)—A flash fire struck a four-car subway train at the peak of the city's evening rush hour Tuesday, and homebound commuters were led choking and gasping from the smoke-filled subway tunnel. Hospital officials said one person died and 50 persons were admitted for injuries caused by the fire. Boston City Hospital reported receiving 30 fire victims and said seven were on the danger list. Massachusetts General Hospital reported receiving 20 injured persons.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Six hundred Republicans turned out Monday night for a Kansas night tribute to Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., who resigned last month, as chairman of the state congressional delegation was host committee for the two-hour reception. A personal letter from President Nixon to Dole was read. George Bush, former ammendator, replaced Dole as national chairman, praised Dole for his devotion to his work.
New Tax Rule
TOPEKA (AP)-Gary Savalo, executive secretary of the state Board of Tax Appeals, estimated Tuesday that as many as 1,000 properties owned by "nonprofessional tax officers" on Kansas tax rolls as a result of a state Supreme Court ruling Monday. The ruling places a strict interpretation on the definition of a "charitable institution." This legislation would lose their tax exemptions on properties not directly used in charitable work, he said.
produce antibodies to seek out and neutralize the invading cells.
Two researchers, Drs. Loren J. Humphrey and William R. Jewell, believe they have found the specific antibody for breast cancer antigen.
The two doctors are encouraging physicians throughout Kansas to cooperate with them to develop a network through which blood samples from women who have been examined for breast cancer, or who have been treated for the disease, would be sent routinely to the medical center for testing and evaluation.
Two doctors say it is only from a large number of cases that they can determine the cause.
Humphrey said that just as the appearance of the antibody in the blood could
prove a detector of the disease, its existence after treatment could provide a means of identifying it.
When removal of a breast tumor by surgery is incomplete, Humphrey said, the antibody still could appear in the blood, indicating the need for additional surgery or treatment. Absence of the antibody after surgery would indicate removal had been complete.
So far, Humphrey said, the test appears more accurate in detecting cancer than the Gold test, a test that many physicians feel is promising.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death by cancer of American women. It strikes approximately 73,000 women in this country a year and some 32,000 of them die.
NEW YORK (AP)—An end to U.S. involvement in Vietnam has not been a boon to the stock market, but analysts said a rise in the expected, both historically and economically.
The stock market faltered briefly after the end of three of the country's four foreign wars, brokers note. And this time the situation is further complicated by Wall Street's new pressure on insurance pressures, tight money and the weakening of the dollar, they add.
Since the cease-fire was announced last month, the Dow Jones industrial average has dropped nearly 40 points, and declining stocks have been reported. Companies have persistently outnumbered advances.
Analysts also note that the Dow advance about 140 points from late October to mid-January on the strength of peace rumors and say a bit more backtracking would be in
"there were no celebrations about this peace, but instead a tremendous distrust that it would not be lasting," said Bradbury Thurlow of Ladidaw & Co. Now that war operations are being dismantled, he added, the precipition is being focused on the economy."
"If history is any guide, the Dow should drop into the low 900s in the next few months and then recover," said Ralph Acamprora of Harris, Upham & Co. "An ultimate boom market in the neighborhood of a 1,250 Dow during the next week would fit the picture."
Cease-Fire Kindles Expected Stock Drop
Amacura said the stock market declined 5 to 10 per cent in the first month and a half after the invasion of Spanish-American War, World War I and the Korean conflict. "But it was bishall once the initial sell-off was completed, and the war ended," per cent each of those three wars.
The Dow, a weighted average of 30 blue-chip issues considered a major indicator of stock market activity, closed at 979.91 on the ceasefire was announced Jan. 23.
After the end of World War I, he added,
the market climbed steadily for nine more
years.
Docking Seeks Welfare Dept. Reorganization
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—Gov. Robert Docking issued Tuesday an executive reorganization order under new powers given him in a constitutional amendment approved by voters last fall to reorganize the state Welfare Department into a new "state Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services."
President May Veto Spending If Congress Surpasses Budget
The new department, to be headed by a secretary of social and rehabilitative services, would include a Division of "Social Services," a Division of "Mental Health and Retardation Services" and a Division of Rehabilitation.
Joseph Sneed, deputy attorney general, also said Congress had no signs it had the capacity to insure balanced budgets or control inflation.
His order must be rejected by one house
the legislature, or it will go into effect
if the bill passes.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Stripping the President of full power to impound funds would reduce him from chief executive to chief attorney. Justice Department told Tuesday.
Docking's proposal retains the three present divisions of the Department of Agriculture.
The Division of Social Services is the present Welfare Division, and the Division of Health and Wellness is the present Division of Institutional Management which oversees operation of state hospitals.
Seed testified before a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee while the battle of the budget
redefined.
Another reason the market failed to respond positively was that investors anticipating peace had already bought heavily before the war began, and fall, said Monte Gordon of Dfresus Corp.
"And unlike other wars, Vietnam did not require a huge chunk of the country's resources, so there was no backlog of consumer demand when the hostilities ended." Gordon said. The accumulation of such demand normally would have ignited the economy as well as the stock market, he added.
The House Rules Committee cleared a bill to resurrect a popular farm program, the Rural Environmental Assistance program. House action is expected Wednesday.
Acampera called the market's drop since the cease-fire announcement "just intermediate weakness" and predicted it would start moving ahead soon if postwar performances are accurate indicators.
Head for Henry's
And after a White House meeting with President Nixon, Republican congressional leaders quoted Nixon as saying he would take whatever steps necessary to keep his new budget intact. One leader predicted a substantial number of vetoes.
Sen. Sam Ervin Jr., D-N.C., and other senators said unrestrained presidential power to impound funds which Congress has not authorized, but is not now either clerked or balanced.
Ervin said the fact that other presidents had impounded funds does not make the case.
"The exercise of this authority by the President to promote fiscal stability is not usurpation. Rather, it is a great tradition of balance and balances upon which the system is based," he said.
Sneed said the nation needed the impoundment only vested in the President as a general rule.
Sneed said it was his legal judgment that Nixon had the power, derived from the Constitution and various acts of Congress, to kill entire programs or withhold any percentage of congressional appropriations without consulting Congress.
Committee to Discuss Reapportionment Issue
TOPEKA (AP)—The House Appointment Committee is scheduled to take up today what to do about repositioning the House. The committee by a federal court panel late last week.
Rep. William Bunten, R-Topema, committee chairman, said Tuesday there were two major questions which must be resolved before a decision could be made on whether to try to complete the reapportionment this session or give the matter to an interim committee and have it recommend a plan to the 1974 session.
Bring a friend with you to Henry's this weekend!
the federal court, which declared the 1972 House reapportionment plan invalid because it broke many county lines and had too many population deviations among districts, gave the legislature until Feb. 14, 1974, to come up with a new plan for electing

Wednesday's referendum requests the Student Senate to increase the activity fee line item for Student Publications by 67 cents to $3. A majority vote is required to pass, with at least a third of the student population voting.
A plan was introduced in the House Tuesday calling for reducing the size of the House to 60 members, with each of the 40 senatorial districts simply being split in two to determine the 60 House districts. Some House members bristled at this suggestion, however, because it would make Senate reappointion dominate.
The two issues to be decided now, Bunten said, are whether to reduce the size of the House, as has been frequently proposed in recent years, and whether to use the 1970 federal census, the 1972 state agricultural census or the 1973 state agricultural census.

The farm program REAP was killed in late December by the Nixon administration on the grounds that it was a low priority item. The legislation cleared for House action would earnark $22 million for the program during the year ending June 30.
